Marx Wrist Watches
That Neal Adams shot of Superman on the card art is some of my favourite pieces of the man of steel, that’s how I picture him.
The Shadow Knows?
I love a toy mystery but these rack toys based on pulp character The Shadow were driving me crazy, first, they looked almost exactly like Secondly, why The Shadow? It wasn’t like the character had a big presence in the mid seventies, even his DC title had been cancelled by this point. Fortunately, I met a kindly soul who […]
A Ride in the Bat Boat
Bob sent in this incredible shot of him and the caped crusaders at Sea World and an incredible story, I’ll let him explain: “An employee picked me out of the stands, ‘cos I was reading a gigantic “treasury edition” size comic book (reprint of the original Flash comic) that I bought on site. He asked […]
1978 Berwick Toys Catalog
Most North Americans have probably never heard of UK based Berwick toys before but that should change because they created a lot of fun and inspired toys for the English market. Berwick’s main items seem to be role play such as their line of play suits and games. 1978 saw the introduction of a toy called […]

Batman and Joker race to the death
Time to take an indepth look at one of the more premium products made by Azrak Hamway, this time it’s the Batman Road Race set. Normally, AHI stuck to low cost rack toys and released the higer priced items through their Remco brand but occasionally they’d do a higher price point item like this road race […]
Comic Hero Kites
This is a new one to me, these Comic Hero kites from Remco were made in 1971, which was an odd year to be making Superhero merchandise seeing it was pretty close to the late 60s explosion. There are some pretty interesting things to notice about this line, first is the absence of Aquaman ( […]
1977 Janex Catalog
Anybody who grew in the 70s probably remembers the Janex line of products especially their talking alarm clocks which were a pretty big deal at the time. I for one coveted that Batman and Robin one but I hated waking up as a kid (still do) so I never asked for one. The addition of […]
